Cravaack Reports $1.1 Million in Coffers

DULUTH, MN (KNSI) - Republican Congressman Chip Cravaack says he started October with $1.1 million in the bank for the final weeks of a tough race against Democrat Rick Nolan.

Cravaack's campaign reported its fundraising totals for the latest quarter Thursday, ahead of Monday's filing deadline with federal campaign regulators. The campaign said the first-term incumbent raised $471,000 from July through September, bringing his total fundraising for the election cycle to $1.9 million. Nolan is expected to lag in the money chase.
